ABOUT THE BRANDS

Betty-Hoodie-Black2.jpg

In 2012, Alex made a blog "Exploring North Carolina’s nature" known as NC Nature News when he was 12 years old. At its peak, the blog had 29 readers.

 

This blog eventually re-branded in 2016 to "GoHerping", named after the act of catching reptiles and amphibians.

​

YouTube became the center platform of the brand around this time. Reptiles have always been the focus of videos, with consistent uploads for 7 years and a community of over 550,000 subscribers.

​

In 2018, Alex co-created Emerald Scales, a company rehabilitating, rehoming and selling reptiles online. It has since been acquired by GoHerping and taken in over 400 animals.

​

As of 2020, Alex continues to build the brands, a small team and a stronger online presence. If you ever need to grab his attention, just mention Tesla, Adventure Time or Stardew Valley.
